They were supposed to be rivals across the bargaining table, one jockeying for the best deal for Fiat Chrysler, the other pushing for a good contract for autoworkers.
Instead, the FBI says, former Fiat Chrysler executive Al Iacobelli and the late UAW Vice President General Holiefield were scheming to enrich themselves, jet-setting and buying luxury watches, jewelry, a Ferrari and $37,500 Mont Blanc pens with money that was supposed to help train autoworkers.
The top negotiators did this, authorities allege, by secretly funneling FCA money through a UAW training center and a fake children's charity, ultimately spending it on themselves. They pulled it off with the help of an FCA financial analyst who cooked the books, they say, and ignored a warning years ago that they could "go to jail" for their misdeeds.

Holiefield, who died in 2015, was the senior UAW official responsible for negotiating contracts with Fiat Chrysler on behalf of the union.
Detroit’s FBI chief David P. Gelios went so far Wednesday as to say the indictment “calls into question the integrity of contracts negotiated during the course of this criminal conspiracy.”
